But you must judge him only after you have considered his times, which were forty years ago, his surroundings, and his blood. During those two months remarkable changes occurred within the walls of Haddon, chief of which were in myself, and, alas! in Dorothy.
Haddon is situate about one mile south-east of Bakewell, and is one of the most curious and perfect of the old castellated mansions of this country. It stands on a gentle hill, in the midst of thick woods overhanging the Wye, which winds along the valley at a great depth beneath.
She was not a very wise little woman, or her son's force of character might have been turned early to good works and profitable courses. In truth the thrashing had had an extraordinary effect on Richard Haddon.

This the detective recognised as the nugget described by Dick Haddon. There were also a pickle bottle containing much rough gold, and two or three small parcels.
